I love breadcrumbs for 2 reasons. 1 They allow you to retrace your steps very easily 2 They allow visitors who have arrived at the site to go down one level if the information is not 100% what they where looking for. for example they may be interested in Chrysler, just not that specific model. If your navigation system allows them to go back a stage, they can easily navigate to the model they where interested in.

I love breadcrumbs for one reason (the others are a given):

• PageRank sculpting aka Inverted Pyramid. A helpful breadcrumb path is a byproduct of careful inverted-pyramid site design. PR sculpting is a recent label for the same work.
